Also, check out my collection of fun signage.

The outside of my dorm, Churchill House. | The abode I currently call my own. | Reverse shot of dorm room. | The behemoth of a book that I'm currently reading. | The hallway outside my door. Very interesting. |

Testing... | This is literally right outside of my door. If you're coming to visit me, bring your hiking boots. | The kitchen on my floor. | Reverse shot. | Salisbury Crags at sunset outside the window at the end of one of the hallways on my floor. |

Salisbury crags again. | The bronze sculpture on top of the dome of the Old College about two blocks from my dorm. | A double decker bus! | British mail. | The famous red phone booths. |

St. Giles's cathedral down the Royal Mile from the castle. | Statue of Sir Walter Scott. | Statue of David Hume, across the road from Sir Walter. | An authentic bagpiper! With tourist. | William Wallace takes a break from fighting the English to take a picture with some fans. |

Edinburgh Castle in all of its splendor. | Salisbury crags from the Castle mount. | A bagpipers' convention beneath the watchful eyes of David Hume. | The back of Holyrood Palace, the Queen's residence in Scotland. | Holyrood Abbey, adjoining Holryood Palace. |

Edinburgh skyline from Calton Hill. | Holyrood Palace from Calton Hill. | Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat (the teeny weeny hill to the left of the crags) from Calton Hill. | Scottish National Monument (known as Scotland's Disgrace b/c they ran out of money before they finished. It was originally intended to be a replica of the Parthenon). | Arthur's Seat again. |

Downtown Edinburgh. The bridge goes over Waverly Station, the train station. I live on the left side of the bridge (the old city). On the right side is Princes St. and the New Town. | Nelson's Monument on Calton Hill. At least they took an accurate photo. | Kind of macabre, don't you think? | The late Mr. Hume. | A familiar face among the graves... |

|
Old College, closed for Sunday. | As close as I'll ever get to Sean Connery. | The game is afoot! I enjoy the fire at 221B Baker St. in London. | The Great Detective himself. | And his great adversary! This is the real reason I don't like Mathematics (Sherlock Holmes joke...). |

|
Certainly one of the most famous landmarks in London, and the level I could never beat in Rainbow Six!!! | Where important decisions are made (when they can hear themselves over the huge clock). | Where the REAL important decisions are made. Unfortunately closed when I was there :( | Trafalgar Square at Night. | Nelson surveys the square (they have monuments to him everywhere!). |
